Q: Where did you get your inspiration for the Undeniable series? How are the books tied together?

The idea came to me while watching friends chat about sex. I thought how easy it was that they talked about it and that it would be fun to do a friends to lovers story with the heroine being the one to initiate talking about a friends with benefits relationship.

Releases: June 19
Genre: Multicultural Romance, Africa
Length: Full-length novel
Esi Afriyie has been in love with Michael Yaw Badu since childhood. When he receives a scholarship to study in America, all hope seems lost ... until he returns to Ghana ten years later. An arranged marriage contracted by their families makes her dreams come true, but does the reality of being Mrs. Michael Badu live up to the fantasy?
Michael may have married Esi, but he is in love with someone else—Forest Girl, a mystery woman he encountered just once in the forest. His heart belongs to her, and he doesn't need his beautiful wife awakening his carnal desires. He is even willing to sacrifice his marriage for another encounter with Forest Girl.
Reality is not what either Esi or Michael imagined. Esi is disillusioned; Michael feels trapped.
Will Michael give in and allow his heart to discover a love that was always meant to be, before it's too late?

A death threat brings them together. Will her past force them apart?
At the age of eighteen, Daisy Warren seduced a smuggler and became a social outcast. Several years later, she lives in a tumbledown inn, serves ale and sings crude songs for the smugglers, and writes romantic novels in her spare time. Shunned by her own class, she's resigned to her lowly life—until someone tries to kill her.
Sir Julian Kerr is a domestic spy, nosing out seditionists and traitors. When he visits the inn to investigate two suspicious Frenchmen, he meets the lovely but hostile Daisy. He doesn't intend to get involved with her—but then he learns that someone is threatening her life.
He wants to find out more—it's part of his investigation.
He wants to protect her—he's a chivalrous man.
He just wants her.
But will Daisy's bitter experience of the past allow her to risk love again?

Buck Maddux spent two years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. Now a deathbed promise has brought him to Tempest's homestead. A man without roots, he doesn't plan to stay—or to feel so fiercely protective of this feisty beauty he saves from a hated marriage of convenience. Suddenly, Buck years for a home, a family, a lasting love. But what can he offer Tempest? The surprising answer lies in the forbidding canyons of an ancient Anasazi tribe, where fortune and danger await—along with a passion more precious than gold….
